Hello! I’m Angelia.
(pronounced Angela)
Navigating your faith journey doesn’t have to be a mystery. The thing is God never intended for you to walk it alone.
(Ephesians 4:11-13)
That’s exactly why I created these resources. I help new converts that may be feeling stuck, returning believers, or those that are ready to surrender but just don’t know how to progress along their journey.

This memoir gives you a front row seat to a disciple in the making. The breaking. The testing. The challenges. It’s a love story — one that unfolds as I walk through healing and inner transformation, discover my identity in Christ, and live through the trauma of deliverance. It’s God Esteem™ in the making— having the confidence in your own worth and abilities based on the newfound love for yourself and God’s love for you, teaching you that God validates you, not this world.

About
Certified Master Life Coach | Author | Prophetic Voice
Angelia Richardson is a Certified Master Life Coach, author, and the founder of The Discipleship Academy™ — a faith-based ministry dedicated to coaching the called to commission.
When Angelia first surrendered her life to God, she found herself walking a path that felt entirely solitary. As a new member of her church, the spiritual shifts and experiences she went through left her feeling alone, isolated, and deeply confused. She lacked a coach, a mentor, or a trusted source to help her navigate the transition. Through that wilderness season, God placed a burning assignment on her heart: to normalize kingdom culture rather than the ways of this world. The Discipleship Academy™ was born from that very room of isolation, designed to ensure that other called believers never have to walk their journey alone.
After years of informal coaching the worldly way, Angelia officially answered God’s call in July 2019 to use her gift of wisdom for His glory. In September 2020, she formalized her training by earning her Master Life Coach certification through Transformation Academy. Her comprehensive background includes four specialized credentials: Professional Life Coach, Life Purpose Coach, Happiness Coach, and Goal Success Coach. Through her practice, she empowers believers to dismantle worldly definitions and confidently discover their true wholeness in Christ.
Currently operating in the prophetic office, Angelia is assigned to break down scripture so believers can practically apply God’s word to their daily walk. She leads by example, walking out the truths she teaches. As an author, her debut memoir, Surrender for Sanity: My Wilderness Journey, chronicles her personal path of surrendering pain to God and finding divine purpose through the process.
“Where your surrender leads to sanity™”
The Discipleship Academy™
Walking out your faith journey will come with many challenges. Having another disciple with experience, knowledge, and wisdom to help guide you can be half the battle.
While the goal is not for you to imitate my walk — as one that has gone before you — the goal is to apply that same Godly wisdom to your own life so that you navigate your journey with ease.
The goal is to help you lean into your faith, maintain a heart posture of surrender, and learn scripture in a way you can apply it to your everyday life — so that you do not allow your emotions to govern your theology.
When taking the route God has predestined for you, you’ll need to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who can encourage you in every facet of your journey — believing God with you, holding you accountable, helping you bear your burdens.

The Discipleship Academy was created for those that are ready to lean into your faith and do your work.
The Reality
You’ve answered the initial call to salvation, attended new members’ class and possibly joined a ministry. And just when you thought God was about to answer your heart’s desires, no one prepared you for what came next.
Instead of God answering your heart’s desires, you’ve been ushered into the wilderness where all hell is breaking loose, literally. And you have no one to turn to that can relate.
When most Christians don’t have any real encouragement, support, or accountability, they give up and go back to what’s familiar.
“Saints, I’m here to tell you — nothing changes if you don’t.”
If you’re anything like I used to be, you’ve spent your last 40 years in the wilderness. However, if you want to experience real growth that leads to progression, it’s not enough to join a ministry, attend a few sessions of bible study, and make a few modifications in your life.
It’s time to stop spinning the block and get intentional about your walk. Stop allowing fear of the unknown and past rejection hold you back from deepening your relationship with Christ and receiving all He’s got for you.
Before you circle around the wilderness one more time — surrender for the sake of your sanity and trust God’s process.
